    Balancing PC and console separately

    I'm not going to bother talking about the connection problems or the matchmaking issues because despite these problems I still find the game to be fun to play, while I admit frustrating at times. Instead I'd like to get opinions on the topic from the console player base. When I'm playing on xbox regardless of what class I use I find that the traditional peacekeeper light spam is nearly impossible to block and when I watch a stream of the game being played on PC they seem to be almost half the speed. I'm sure this is due to the different frame rates of the console and PC versions among other factors. Maybe I just don't have the reaction speed but from talking to several other players they all seem to be having the same issue. I've had several also mention having a big issue with this when it comes to valk as well after her buff. The bottom line is on console everything seems faster. What requires good reactions on PC, on console requires amazing reactions. I for one would like to see balancing in relation to a classes attack speed be adjusted separately for consoles and PC.

    I just want to clarify that I am not stating these things as facts simply the way the game feels to me. For those that are curios I play lb, nobushi, and orochi

    I am in agreement with you for the same reason, Peacekeeper. She is the only character I have trouble fighting and it's because of that damn light attack spam.

    I find light attack spam from most classes to be obnoxious... The faster the class the worse it is. PK, Valk and Nobushi are the worst for me... few of those I've faced have used much aside from light attack spam, a great deal of GBs that are also very very hard to react to, and some other disabling stuff.

    So yeh, either different balancing or make the game run at 60fps on console.

    Being paired with people far away does not help much either... No idea why Region is the first to change in matchmaking... Granted, these days it always ends up going to "All regions" and "All Skill Levels" anyway. More often than not im grouped with people with red-yellow connection.
